I was writing about this in an essay when I discovered a company had run a very similar event to this with a very similar reaction and it was a couple of years BEFORE this. Also, two years on, this is the present!
I think this is a chilling cautionary tale. The future could be a terrible place. We all have a responsibility to understand that and do what we can to prevent the worst.
Future? this is possible right now. Humans and AI, well any biological race and AI, is a bad combination. Hell its even in NASA's alien contact book, where its most likely we'll either receive signals or messages from an AI civilisation that wiped out their biological creators. (and so begs the question if we should answer a message at all from outer space should we receive one)
So if it's so cheap & easy to anti EMP everything, why don't we do that now for our critical infrastructure?! Why does the Gov't want people to suffer in the event of even an accidental or natural EMP event? I realize that the movie is fiction.
The Great Emu: No there isn't. The only known way to insulate circuits from EMP is by constructing a faraday cage around them. Which means added mass... Which means: flight capabilities of any craft will be reduced. It would violate the laws of physics building small, flying drones like these while also making their circuits safe from EMP. And if that wasn't enough: there's grounding to consider.
With the modern capabilities of drones, I'm actually not so sure this is out of the possibility, it seems like these drones could actually exist soon. In the words of Peter Griffin, "Aw sweet, man made horrors beyond my comprehension."
This reminds me of the idea of autonomous vehicles. Once they’re all integrated into a network, it’s essentially a killing machine. Whoever runs the network can decide if they want to kill person x riding in their car on the way to work. Imagine if a hacker got into the network, or if the companies in charge had agendas, and could kill key heads of competitors. The future is dangerous, we need to venture cautiously
This specific scenario may seem a bit outlandish, but it's just one of a huge range of possible autonomous weapons scenarios, any of which could be an enormous problem. People will probably get hung up on the details here, but the point is that AI has the potential to dramatically reduce the cost and risk of waging war, and that's a bad thing if you value peace.
This scenario doesn't seem outlandish. I've seen other short films about autonomous weapons or the dangers of using machines to kill people, but they always had shit like human-looking androids or technology that seems far ahead of our current capabilities. These little suicide-bombing drones seem like something that could be manufactured within the next 15-20 years if not sooner.
@bbm morgan >These little suicide-bombing drones seem like something that could be manufactured within the next 15-20 years if not sooner 100% sooner. 15 years seems like way too much time for something like this, it's basically technology that we already have, and I'm fairly certain everything that is shown in the video could be done today with a relatively small investment in some R&D, nothing even a moderately wealthy individual, or a small nation couldn't do right now.
To be clear I don't think the technology is implausible at all, it's more the way the scenario plays out, with only one new system being developed and then immediately being very widely deployed, without other technologies coming out at the same time, etc. Naturally the video has to focus on a single thing to make a decent story, but I'd expect the real thing to involve a lot of different new technologies interacting with each other in confusing and unpredictable ways.
@Robert Miles Oh I agree. Love your videos by the way, I always find myself agreeing with you on basically everything you say, and I always recommend your channel when the topic of AI comes up.
I was sent a small part of this video (up to shortly after the mannequin demonstration) with a "PlayGround" logo through WhatsApp and I totallly bought it (I thought it was an actual presentation). I feel a little ashamed because some details (such as the stereotypically movie-like drone camera interface) should have revealed to me that it was not. But stil... wow. I got scared. Very well done.
Vercusgames. No it won't. Please don't speak of topics you have little practical knowledge of, Mr. "Network Security"-guy. These drones are pathetic. Any normal person with a shotgun would be able to deal with such drones easily. We've been using birdshot to successfully shoot and kill small flying creatures for hundreds of years. These drones don't have anything on birds when it comes to flight.
Vercusgames: Well lucky for the human with a shotgun then that these drones actually move TOWARDS him rather than trying to flee away from him like the birds which you normally use birdshot on.
Frantz Felix: Yes it is propaganda. At least the suggested "dangers" fro weak, fragile "explosive drones" that can easily be countered by your average shotgunblast... Or even a butterfly net.
If someone has the resources to build and distribute 100's of these things to kill me, they also have the resources to build a simple bomb, run over me with a truck, or shoot me with a handgun much more cheaply. And, if I knew that someone was trying to kill me, I'd probably have at least as good of recourse in thwarting an AI attacker as I would someone attacking me by more conventional means. For example, you could functionally kill one of these with a can of spray paint, or by messing with its recognition software. To the extent you can protect yourself from someone willing to do anything to kill you, it's no harder to protect yourself from this than any other committed assault on your person. If you can figure out how to send drones after me, you can put a bomb under my car or throw one threw the window of my house etc. etc.
It is not that someone has the resources to build 100's just to kill you, is that some companies can build millions of these that will become as cheaper, so purchasing a 100's will not be so difficult.
Its not about you as an individiual. Its about groups and profiles. You happen to be part of some movement or just be at the wrong time and at the wrong place or you fit the profile. You think GMO Food is bad and want to garden your own food instead? Well, maybe killer drones sponsored by Monsanto will eventually hunt you and every other food grower down, because growing your own food poses a danger to the GMO monsanto fields and/or you violated patents. (The pollen from your plant could ruin the GMO fields and/or the pollen from the GMO fields could combine with your plants and then you violate patent rights of Monsanto)
I can think of a counter for this system, no matter how fast the drone, you can't dodge light. Laser point defence would wind up a far too common sight, targeting the distinct whirring of a small drone's helicopter blades. Unfortunately, there goes flying drones as hobby, or using them for civilian purposes.
I'd say those shown in black mirror are more advanced. That in the video here is much closer. Further still would be machines so small that they would only be visible to the naked eye in large groups, as clouds. This grey goo of nanomachines was depicted in the 2008 version of 'The Day the Earth Stood Still', it's a good example.
It's a regular SF theme and it has already been in COD any gamer knows this scenario, this vid is for the people how are completely oblivious to the possibilities of future tech. In this case I guess it's more technophobia, but it's a valid point, new, smart weapons are a thing, a frightening thing that is.
Unless something crazy happens with range and battery life, such drones will still have to be planted in advance near to the target location. They don't come out of nowhere, so the real culprit behind them (or lackeys) will still have to show up nearby at some point or other. Rather than completely being remotely deployed, it's more like a temporarily roving minefield that's activated by a cell-phone call. If something like this ever happens for real, don't be too surprised if it's an excuse for the surveillance state to go into overdrive, as that would seem to be the most obvious counter. (Of course some other ways of dealing with it will be as simple as shotguns, nets, and bolas, while others may as fancy be sentry weapons or things like narrow-beam microwave emitters that can fry electronics.)
I have a very easy solution for this problem. Its called EMP weapons, Electro Magnetic Pulse weapons would destroy these robots and they would literaly drop like dead bugs.
Yeah, and everything else we hold dear, like, everything! Then remember how easy it is to build a faraday cage and the necessary internal discharge and protection circuits and all of a sudden the one thing you had to defend yourself was absolutely useless!
I think they can be reprogrammed to go for the chest or spinal cord. Yeah, that size a charge would be easy to defeat on the forehead, but there are other means of attack.
Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.
Dreadnought: Yes. We need more gothic, mega-cathedral like structures, decorated with cyber cherubs and skulls in the skyline of our cities. That would be cool. :)

1:23 explosion coming from inside the head...Well I'd say, until I don't implant explosives in my head which will be triggered by drones buzzing into my face, I'm safe...
Really well done video. Now I am working on my personal protection directed EMP. Living in the future is usually really fun, but sometimes it's scary, too.
Offensive and defensive technology develops simultaneously. Sometimes one side is ahead (the shaped charge) and then the other side will be given more focus and catch up (sloped armor). A lot of resources are going into research and development of anti-drone technology as we speak. There are both soft-kill measures, where you disrupt the sensors or electronics, or hard-kill measures like the active protection systems being developed for the new generation of main battle tanks (using millimeter-wavelength radar to intercept incoming threats with an explosive charge or similar). Laser systems are also being developed. And once you do have these swarms of autonomous terrorist drones, there will be anti-drone drones as well. You really only need to instruct them to fly into other drones fast. In fact, if you like science fiction, you could just as easy have a screen in this video reporting "Unauthorized drone swarm detected" and a terminally guided filament projectile arriving in seconds (dropped from a high altitude guardian drone), spraying the swarm with a cluster of proximity-fused synthetic fibre charges, entangling rotorblades and dropping the drones to the ground like dead birds falling from the sky. Yes, a terrorist attack with weaponized drones against unarmed civilians is horrific, but the same goes for any weapon in our history.
Agreed. And which is scarier, a bunch of armed drones or a truck bomb with materials that cost the same as the swarm of armed drones? Only one of the two are you likely to be able to thwart with a can of spray paint, a fire extinguisher, a ski mask, or a motorcycle helmet. The thing about weapons like this is that they almost always turn out to be pound for pound less effective at generating casualties than high explosives.
Defensive technologies are a joke at this point. Where is the defence against a guy shoting at you? There is no defence against a terroist attack. It is very important that you can at least find the criminals afterwards and THAT is the big problem here: The drone doesnt tell you who sent it.
No, they are not. Of course the average civilian will not wear a ballistic vest or sit in an armored car, but the technology is there. There are numerous ways you can defend yourself against a terrorist attack, both as a nation and as an individual. Having a foreign policy that is more interested in long term reduction of poverty and corruption overseas than in short term economic benefits by supporting anti-democratic regimes would be one thing. And if swarms of terrorist drones becomes a problem, you bet they will be tracked and traced. They have a radar signature, they have an IR-signature, they are communicating, using GPS, they make a noise etc. You could have surveillance drones looking for them, you could have sensor arrays spread out over a city or mounted on vehicles and so forth. The intention behind this video is good of course, but this is propaganda made to scare you. Mission accomplished.
Of corse there are a lot of indirect measures, if there are less conflicts or less terrorirts, there will be less attacks. But try to see this from the perspektive of an assasin for a moment: You dont want to get shot, so you use a bomb. If someone finds you placing the bomb or the bomb is found too early, your plan fails. This is very likely if the place is known to be a terrorist target. A drone doesnt need a high range to be more useful here. Have you ever tried to shoot a super small and fast object that is flying through a crowd? Countermesures are not as simple as you describe them.
Now this is a MUCH more realistic doomsday scenario than all this rogue-AI/Terminator business people go on about. Heck, the killer drone-bot conference you had at the beginning, I wouldn't be surprised if it had come up on my feed today as a real thing. Thanks for being more level-headed and concrete than those who just go, "Oo, machine-learning is scary!" So... now that it's been properly articulated what the danger is, what are we going to do about this? Holding up signs didn't put an end to the Vietnam War, we need something more effective.
or a localized personal emp device that goes off in the event of something like this, or some sort of static shield around yourself that fry any electronics that's always on and cant be penetrated.
Unlike drones, facial recognition and shape charges, practical EMP weapons aren't a real thing. If something like that existed it would already be incredibly useful and a common tool for law enforcement, for example to stop cars with computer controlled fuel injectors, which is basically all cars now.
That just tells you this has officially begun. It just hasn't gone mainstream yet. You know when traditional non-state actors acquire the means to do so. The nation-state will officially be over. So I guess civilians better start preparing.
Once this technology becomes available, "the AI" and high level facial recognition, and drone advancements, I don't see any reason this could be stopped. If not one country, then another. You cannot stop weapons progress. You can only adapt to it. AI must be used to beat AI. There is no other way, saying "Oh, ya, use one bad thing to fight another. Good idea (sarcasm)" is really dumb in itself because if you haven't noticed from clubs, to steel swords, to cavalry, to cannons to tanks and nuclear weapons, only the equal advance of technology stops one people's from conquering another. If Russia did not have Nuclear weapons during the cold war, they'd have just crumbled into submission.
Yeah, I made a similar point up the comments. The problem with these kinds of technologies is that the precursors have already been "democratized" such that virtually anyone could work on such capability. What's needed? A shop, an alibaba account, a 3d printer? A UN ban on such weapons cannot address non-state actors at all.
Guy shows you a tiny high speed device and points out the short battery life. You respond with a link to a massive very slow moving aircraft as if this was some sort or rebuttal. If they put enough solar panels on one of those things to power it, it wouldn't be able to lift off the ground.
LMAO!!! Google: "Solar powered drones", plenty of companies are making them, Aurora is one of them BTW. You think Li-Ion batteries that retail drones use are state of the art? You don't think Darpa has access to better batteries? What about Li-po, half the weight? Google: "Lithium Sulfur batteries", half the weight 3 times the power of Li-Ion Google: "Silver-Zinc Batteries", 40% greater energy efficiency than any type of Lithium battery. Since the drone is only making a one way trip, why even bother with a rechargeable battery anyway, Zinc-air have the highest power to weight ratio around... Do my research huh? OK, right LOL! Maybe before you say something you do YOUR research LOL! Maybe you before you hit the "post" button you check your spelling too...
I recently read Max Tegmark's new book "Life 3.0" and have read others by Ray Kurzweil and other physicists and engineers that touch on this subject. As a result I know that everything in this film is accurate and disturbingly likely. I don't believe those who are never content with the amount of power and wealth they have will refrain from developing this technology, especially because in their ignorance and arrogance they will mistakenly believe they will be able to control it once they have it. As such, I don't think the efforts to restrict and guide the development of AI will be successful in keeping us safe from the dark side of strong AI.
We already do this with drone strikes using metadata = who's carrying your phone. And if you think we are careful about it, 80 out of 100 strikes end up killing the wrong people.
I am so glad we have "good guys" like this in our world. Where would we be without sociopaths dreaming up and profiting from ever more elaborate methods of killing each other?
Gianni Too late. The solution is change the way people view each other & interact. Focus more on collaboration. Reduce the desire to fight. Make satisfying other desires easier.
Its to late.. its already here. We have stuff that the general public would find hard to conceptualize. Synthetic Telepathy... V2K..

Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.
warhammer??
Brenden Harris yup :)
But warhammer has good aesthetics. Our aesthetics are fucking shit.
Dreadnought: Yes. We need more gothic, mega-cathedral like structures, decorated with cyber cherubs and skulls in the skyline of our cities. That would be cool. :)
There's no way to stop it.
This ride never ends.
Deodorant Can plus windproof lighter - A cheap and somewhat effective solution in a pinch. Upgrade to hairspray for swarms.
You know what, flamethrowers may actually work.... hmmmmm. I like.
@@heronlord228 fire proof drones or at least drones that can survive fire longeuth to get to you remember its AI all it need to do is live long euth to take you out its just a numbers game
Took me a bit to realise that it’s a movie lol
1:23 explosion coming from inside the head...Well I'd say, until I don't implant explosives in my head which will be triggered by drones buzzing into my face, I'm safe...
I would like to see the entire production. Where may I acquire a full streaming version? Thank you kindly!
Thank you for envisioning a specific future problem and erm.... implementing it?
Really well done video. Now I am working on my personal protection directed EMP. Living in the future is usually really fun, but sometimes it's scary, too.
Offensive and defensive technology develops simultaneously. Sometimes one side is ahead (the shaped charge) and then the other side will be given more focus and catch up (sloped armor). A lot of resources are going into research and development of anti-drone technology as we speak. There are both soft-kill measures, where you disrupt the sensors or electronics, or hard-kill measures like the active protection systems being developed for the new generation of main battle tanks (using millimeter-wavelength radar to intercept incoming threats with an explosive charge or similar). Laser systems are also being developed. And once you do have these swarms of autonomous terrorist drones, there will be anti-drone drones as well. You really only need to instruct them to fly into other drones fast. In fact, if you like science fiction, you could just as easy have a screen in this video reporting "Unauthorized drone swarm detected" and a terminally guided filament projectile arriving in seconds (dropped from a high altitude guardian drone), spraying the swarm with a cluster of proximity-fused synthetic fibre charges, entangling rotorblades and dropping the drones to the ground like dead birds falling from the sky. Yes, a terrorist attack with weaponized drones against unarmed civilians is horrific, but the same goes for any weapon in our history.
Agreed. And which is scarier, a bunch of armed drones or a truck bomb with materials that cost the same as the swarm of armed drones? Only one of the two are you likely to be able to thwart with a can of spray paint, a fire extinguisher, a ski mask, or a motorcycle helmet. The thing about weapons like this is that they almost always turn out to be pound for pound less effective at generating casualties than high explosives.
Defensive technologies are a joke at this point. Where is the defence against a guy shoting at you? There is no defence against a terroist attack.
It is very important that you can at least find the criminals afterwards and THAT is the big problem here:
The drone doesnt tell you who sent it.
No, they are not. Of course the average civilian will not wear a ballistic vest or sit in an armored car, but the technology is there. There are numerous ways you can defend yourself against a terrorist attack, both as a nation and as an individual. Having a foreign policy that is more interested in long term reduction of poverty and corruption overseas than in short term economic benefits by supporting anti-democratic regimes would be one thing. And if swarms of terrorist drones becomes a problem, you bet they will be tracked and traced. They have a radar signature, they have an IR-signature, they are communicating, using GPS, they make a noise etc. You could have surveillance drones looking for them, you could have sensor arrays spread out over a city or mounted on vehicles and so forth. The intention behind this video is good of course, but this is propaganda made to scare you. Mission accomplished.
Of corse there are a lot of indirect measures, if there are less conflicts or less terrorirts, there will be less attacks.
But try to see this from the perspektive of an assasin for a moment: You dont want to get shot, so you use a bomb. If someone finds you placing the bomb or the bomb is found too early, your plan fails. This is very likely if the place is known to be a terrorist target.
A drone doesnt need a high range to be more useful here.
Have you ever tried to shoot a super small and fast object that is flying through a crowd?
Countermesures are not as simple as you describe them.
And it also want to mention that a drone doesn't need any comunication, especialy if there is no specific target.
It would be interesting to see the line up outside of Best Buy to purchase the latest Slaughterbot
Stuart RUSSELL you welcome essex
Now this is a MUCH more realistic doomsday scenario than all this rogue-AI/Terminator business people go on about. Heck, the killer drone-bot conference you had at the beginning, I wouldn't be surprised if it had come up on my feed today as a real thing. Thanks for being more level-headed and concrete than those who just go, "Oo, machine-learning is scary!"
So... now that it's been properly articulated what the danger is, what are we going to do about this? Holding up signs didn't put an end to the Vietnam War, we need something more effective.
Countered by smaller faster ones that hunt other bots. Swarm vs. Swarm.
or a localized personal emp device that goes off in the event of something like this, or some sort of static shield around yourself that fry any electronics that's always on and cant be penetrated.
Ah yes the best counter to dangerous tech is...having more of it than your enemy. Foolproof plan.
That sounds simplier than to forbid AI and weaponary combination.
Unlike drones, facial recognition and shape charges, practical EMP weapons aren't a real thing. If something like that existed it would already be incredibly useful and a common tool for law enforcement, for example to stop cars with computer controlled fuel injectors, which is basically all cars now.
Militaries are already hijacking each other's drones, automating the process is likely.
He got so excited at the "kill". Oh boy.
AI and Drones will be unstoppable
Anybody here after that Iranian scientist got killed by a “drone”?
That just tells you this has officially begun. It just hasn't gone mainstream yet. You know when traditional non-state actors acquire the means to do so. The nation-state will officially be over. So I guess civilians better start preparing.
Loitering drones were used widely in last year's Nagorno Karabach War to kill enemy soldiers.
Once this technology becomes available, "the AI" and high level facial recognition, and drone advancements, I don't see any reason this could be stopped.
If not one country, then another. You cannot stop weapons progress. You can only adapt to it.
AI must be used to beat AI. There is no other way, saying "Oh, ya, use one bad thing to fight another. Good idea (sarcasm)" is really dumb in itself because if you haven't noticed from clubs, to steel swords, to cavalry, to cannons to tanks and nuclear weapons, only the equal advance of technology stops one people's from conquering another. If Russia did not have Nuclear weapons during the cold war, they'd have just crumbled into submission.
Yeah, I made a similar point up the comments. The problem with these kinds of technologies is that the precursors have already been "democratized" such that virtually anyone could work on such capability. What's needed? A shop, an alibaba account, a 3d printer? A UN ban on such weapons cannot address non-state actors at all.
All the tech you see here is technically already available.
Look OUTSIDE THE BOX - Countries, Terrorists, Us versus Them, It will all be language of the past.
Sheckley foretold this in his story "Watchbird" (1953).
WOW! This is the single most disconcerting media production I have ever seen! This is something every man woman and child on earth should see!
5 minute batery life 😂
www.aurora.aero/solar-aircraft/
Guy shows you a tiny high speed device and points out the short battery life. You respond with a link to a massive very slow moving aircraft as if this was some sort or rebuttal.
If they put enough solar panels on one of those things to power it, it wouldn't be able to lift off the ground.
Karen Audrey Todd maby before you say somting do your research
LMAO!!!
Google: "Solar powered drones", plenty of companies are making them, Aurora is one of them BTW.
You think Li-Ion batteries that retail drones use are state of the art? You don't think Darpa has access to better batteries? What about Li-po, half the weight?
Google: "Lithium Sulfur batteries", half the weight 3 times the power of Li-Ion
Google: "Silver-Zinc Batteries", 40% greater energy efficiency than any type of Lithium battery.
Since the drone is only making a one way trip, why even bother with a rechargeable battery anyway, Zinc-air have the highest power to weight ratio around...
Do my research huh? OK, right LOL!
Maybe before you say something you do YOUR research LOL!
Maybe you before you hit the "post" button you check your spelling too...
+Karen Audry Todd
Yes, do your reserch:
Aluminium-Air bateries have the highest energy density of all bateries xD, almost 10 times the one of lipo.
I recently read Max Tegmark's new book "Life 3.0" and have read others by Ray Kurzweil and other physicists and engineers that touch on this subject. As a result I know that everything in this film is accurate and disturbingly likely. I don't believe those who are never content with the amount of power and wealth they have will refrain from developing this technology, especially because in their ignorance and arrogance they will mistakenly believe they will be able to control it once they have it. As such, I don't think the efforts to restrict and guide the development of AI will be successful in keeping us safe from the dark side of strong AI.
It's the dark side of the Fermi Paradox.
Just like the CIA lost control of their hacking arsenal. (google Vault 7)
You sir hit the nail on the head, I only wish more people were as logical as you.
Could we perhaps have a debate on this issue?
I'm always up for a good discussion, especially among people what got brains. :-0 Is there perhaps a better forum than this reply section?
It's already done. Iys a fine line 10 years ago
We already do this with drone strikes using metadata = who's carrying your phone. And if you think we are careful about it, 80 out of 100 strikes end up killing the wrong people.
I am so glad we have "good guys" like this in our world. Where would we be without sociopaths dreaming up and profiting from ever more elaborate methods of killing each other?
man, i really hope this happens in real life
Just cover the with a fishing net and you stop any drone.
How did it do facial recognition when he was facing down? Does it wait at like a 10% match and hover for a few minutes to see how it plays out?
Meh... put $100m behind it and you might have a good movie...

Saw this on TV. This is so cool! a drone so small with enough power to blow off your head... golly! so scary!
Here’s how I see it. In an ideal world the drones would be used for medical supplies and as cover fire, not a lethal force offensive weapon.
The audience loved it . . . . all the cheering and clapping . . . . . who was that audience . . ? . !!
Actors. This a movie, not a documentary.
military industrial complex
it was an accurate simulation of republicans and democrats, who both are perpetually clueless
Can we make a Cupid Drone with pheromone shot instead?
ha ha ha I can see night clubs and bars now...:-)
This sounds like heaven.
please make a TV series out of this premise
ArtificiaL intelligence it's unstoppable
This is highly impressive. I am shocked, to say the least. I had no idea we were this close already. \
This scenario must be prevented at all costs.
Gianni Too late. The solution is change the way people view each other & interact. Focus more on collaboration. Reduce the desire to fight. Make satisfying other desires easier.
"at all costs" right.
I think Ted Kaczynski already tried the 'prevent at all costs' approach , it didn't work out for him .
Its to late.. its already here. We have stuff that the general public would find hard to conceptualize. Synthetic Telepathy... V2K.. Non lethal DEW's can torture you in your home right now.. mix this with god knows what else and we have some life changing technology.. or should I say life destroying. th-cam.com/video/8spm-qZesoA/w-d-xo.html

Approves of Slaughterbots! It is my favorite TV Series! :)
I like how it portrays the presentation of doing "good" things people tend to agree to support, taken to their alarming extreme conclusions. for all the people who say "just kill everyone who does x"- the terrible reality if it were that easy.
All right, then let's start by banning any AI from using social media data!
Wear a face cover?
I would bet they would be programed to also target those they cannot run the facial recognition algorithm on.
Wear an infrared blocking suit they won't even know you're a human
I hope you realize the logic gap in that retarded statement
Flame2057 ئؤؤىىو
The end of the video showed that the dude was identified without face recognition.
He dismisses "guns don't kill people, people do" by "oh, people just get emotional.
This is the art of psychopathy at its best.
"The bad half."
My side good, your side bad! There that's that! Yeah it's wrong in every way. Only God has the right to judge!
Short list of countermeasures against slaughterbots:
GPS jammer kills localisation
2,4GHz jammer kills communications
Grilles @windows blocks intruding
Heavy wind blower repealls minidrones
Small kevlar helmet protect from C4 gun
Face hiding glasses blocks recognition
An EMP, instant kill :D

This is like the Star Trek series was, an inspiration to a new generation of engineers for something to strive for.
LMAO Nice one!
Or nano size bots in the public water supply, infiltrating and coalescing inside the human bodies to destroy organs could be another nightmarish scenario, the mind boggles with fear haha.
May you live in interesting times...
